Mississippi issues notice it intends to revoke the license of the state’s last abortion facility

JACKSON, MS, January 28, 2013, (LifeSiteNews.com)
– Mississippi's last abortion facility received notice on Friday that
the state health department intends to revoke its license. If the clinic
closes, that would make Mississippi the first state without a single
abortion clinic.

Jackson Women's Health Organization could not comply with a state law
requiring aboritonists to have admitting privileges at local hospitals,
in the case of botched abortions.

However, it may remain open until the board completes its final hearings. The process could take a month.

“The first state in America is” about to be “abortion-free,” Fr. Frank
Pavone of Priests for Life announced at the beginning of the first-ever
Nellie Gray 5K race in Washington, D.C.

Dr. Pat Castle of Life Runners told the assembled runners, who were
raising money for crisis pregnancy centers, that the announcement should
make them think of "Roger Bannister, when he broke the four-minute
mile. Days, weeks, and months later, several other people" did the same,
"because they believed they could do it."

"The first state in America is abortion-free," he said. "The other states are going to follow."

"Be encouraged today,” he said,

The bulletin was welcome news to those who had specifically prayed about this facility.

“We are inching closer to victory in Mississippi,” said Rusty Lee
Thomas of States of Refuge, which has actively picketed outside the
clinic as part of its campaign to target states with only one abortion
clinic. “Keep praying and trusting the Lord to shut down the last
remaining abortion mill in Mississippi, never again to raise its ugly
head to harm God's children in Jesus' name!”

Other states with only one abortion clinic are Arkansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

Steve Castle of Life Runners saw the hand of Nellie Gray, the founder
of the March for Life who passed away last year, in the announcement.
"It was no coincidence that Fr. Pavone got that announcement at the
beginning of the first-ever Nellie Gray run," he said.

So, how many of the ProLife moms are on their way to adopt these children? Lets say a low number of 5000 each year, who's going to take care of them and support them? The state? Federal Government? Orphanages or churches? Are ProLife supporters going to take in 3,4 ,5 or more kids each? Just wondering. What another woman does with her body is not my decision to make. I just refuse to pay for their unwanted kids.

Yea so now it's going to be more expensive for these women to got to surrounding states to abort if they can get the money for the abortion, the trip, and a motel room. All this does is effct lower income women, meaning more women and children on welfare. Which I'm sure Mississippi is proud of it's rank as one of the poorest states in the country with the one of the worse education systems. Oh and I forgot the lack of jobs there. More children to be raised in a state with dire poverty. Yay, dumbass Mississippi. Now watch them cut services to all those in need.

They'll just build prisons to accomodate them. Hey at least they figured out some job creation. SMH

Quoting AdrianneHill:

It should be and hell had been for the least twenty years. It's much better to close the only abortion clinic in a state where half can't read, the worst teen pregnancy rate in the country and the
this state had been under the thumb of Jesus lovers forever. so we know that no sex but abstinence only has ever been taught these kids. Mostly they are all good Christian kids against their will and a church on every block. But they keep fornicating and making those drug addicted babies, don't they? Will of God seems to be kinda limp in this state.
Note that there are no legal additions, how long until the murder rate of young children goes through the roof? I give three years tops and many more toddlers sold into sex slavery by junkie parents within that time. You can get thousands in crack for a virgin four year old. Praise be

Quoting candlegal:

the Murder rate going down should be a priority in every state.

Quoting romalove:

Quoting candlegal:

One state at a time.

Yeah, because states like NY and NJ are just like Mississippi. And of course, this is the most pressing issue in Mississippi, not that they are completely poverty stricken, have great joblessness, and their education system is one of the worst in the nation.

The state requires admitting priviledges as the hospital. That seems like a good idea to me. Why didn't they comply?

It's easy to make a provision that you know someone can't comply with. With the attitude of the state what do you think would be the consequences for the hospital that took them on? Not to mention the increased cost of operating.

Why does that seem like a good idea to you? Do you think there aren't any other doctors at the hospital?

Quoting yourspecialkid:

I wouldn't have any kind of surgical procedure done outside a hospital unless my doctor had admitting priviledges. A doctor in the ER does not know me, my history, my procedure or what exactly my emergency might be. This is just a common sense thing.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, the murder rate going down should be a priority in every state. What do you feel will bring the murder rate down, for those already born?

Other surgical clinics face the same rules. This is a common sense thing imo. People want it to be more, but safety is the most important issue here.
